Concerned Jonathan Woodgate insists Celtic and Rangers can't be allowed straight into the Premier League ahead of English Championship hopefuls.
The Bournemouth boss offered a prickly response to reports that a British Super League proposal is in the works.
This would see Rangers and Celtic join the top flight in England and leave behind the Scottish Premiership.
Woodgate doesn't see why the Glasgow giants would be allowed to leapfrog the three tiers - adding that he can't see either side beating the Cherries.
He told talkSPORT: "I don't know that they can go straight in. How can they go straight in and leave the Championship out, when you've got all of us striving to get there?
"It wouldn't be fair at all, and if it does they would have to start in the Championship and climb up.
"We're Bournemouth and would Celtic and Rangers beat us? I'm not so sure."
Host Alan Brazil then raised the question of League One clubs in England like Sunderland and Portsmouth being left furious if the Glasgow sides were allowed into the second tier.
That sparked Woodgate to compare the potential move south to the failed European Super League - which was panned universally as a cash-grab.
He continued: "You are boiling it down to money again, like the Super League, and why does money have to run the game?
"Why does it have to boil down to television rights, and all this palaver about money, money, money.
"If they want to come into the league they have got to start off somewhere, and it can't be at the top."
